Yes, got stage of ages on the swap and picked up 3 - wasn't out of currency but didn't really want more at this time. They have the downside of not helping at all with coins - which early on you kinda need from your population sources.Update on the incidents thing I posted earlier, seems the drought has ended. Got 100 tickets yesterday then today a 20 and a 5.
Stage of Ages should be coming up still, probably the best special in this event. I've had a few people say they successfully got it on a swap as well.
Why does it matter to finish higher in PvP? Rewards for the top 50 (minus top 3) are the same, and it's the same for 51-500 as well. Seems pointless to put in effort beyond getting the fp chests and weekly rewards.
And the increase from #51-500 to top 50 reward is only 2 extra rogues in one of the reward slots and an extra 30 diamonds in another. Unless you're top 3 maintaining your rank doesn't seem to matter.
As for why finish higher in PvP arena, everyone needs goals of some sort Some people care about the global ranking, some people care about how high they can fight in attrition. If someone wants to care about their PvP arena rank as their world-goal, more power to them!
I'd thought about it before but the top 3 almost always are buying diamond-attempts to maintain their spots, and I've no interest in that. The way the cost goes up for medal attempts there's not really a practical method to increase your weekly attempts to an arbitrary level needed to match the diamond-attempt players.
